stuffer! Email marketing@yorkpa.org if you are interested in picking some up.

Have a Harley
Christmas

perhaps nothing made here is as world-famous as Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Tour the factory, and then take something home from the gift shop for your
favorite biker. Or, shop at 1st Capital Harley-Davidson for all
kinds of Harley gear and accessories.

Treat your pets, too

holidays, too. Miss Lucy's Dog Treats makes all-natural treats that will have
your dog begging for another trip to York County.

carries everything you need for fun on the water. Check out kayaks, paddle
boards and plenty more accessories perfect for any adventure.

'Tis the season at Christmas Tree Hill

Filled with Christmas ornaments, decorations and other
gifts, this place feels like Christmas all year-round, making it an obvious
stop for holiday shopping. Load up on holiday décor or stocking stuffers before
setting off to your next stop.

Give the gift of
relaxation

If you really want to treat someone, consider setting them
up with a stay at Heritage Hills Golf Resort, complete with a session at the Serenity Spa and Salon. Afterward, they'll enjoy dinner at Knickers Pub or
OakRestaurant.

Discover antique
treasures

You could spend a whole day just browsing Greybeards of Jacobus and the Dover Antique Mall, which alone has 145 vendors. With
primitives, collectables and other antique treasures found in both spots,
there's a good chance you can find the perfect gift for someone looking for
something different.

Shop for everyone at the York Galleria

Of course, there's always the trusty shopping mall. You
could finish up all your shopping at the York Galleria and still have time to
see some of our factory tours, wineries and more.
